The Full-size Vessels: The six vessels of the ENVOY class, namely Enchanter, Encore, Enforcer, Enigma, Enticer and Envoy were built and completed in 1944 for the Admiralty by Cochrane of Selby. They were used as fleet tugs during World War II and fitted with a 12-pounder deck gun, two Oerlikon guns and two Colt machine guns for defence when on escort or rescue duty. After the war the tugs were sold into commercial service and renamed Englishman, Sintra, Vernicos, Matsas etc.

The Kit: The model is built around five glassfibre mouldings: the hull with external plating detail, superstructure, wheelhouse, engine room and funnel.

The rod, wire, dowel and other items needed to finish the model are also included.
